My boy

[Chellbe46]

My baby boy Tino is in shock. He was bitten and chased out the park where we live and ontothe road, stright in to a car. THANK GOD he wasn`t hit but he did hit the bumper of the car, the driver took us to the vets to be checked out but the lady with the dog who bit him did nothing.
Tino not is not eating and drinking much, he just follows me every where and just keeps crying. what is the best thing to carm him down???

[Mom to Hot Rod]

So sorry he went thru all of that. I bet he was pertified! Glad that he checked out okay at the vets. It's a shame that people don't take responsibility for their dogs actions.

I would give Tino lots of love and attention. Baby him more than usual. when something scares mine, I try to get them to go up to it and not be afraid be it a noise or another dog. I don't know about having been biten or hit by a car. Just give him some time and lots of love. Good Luck!

Poor Tino.....give him lots of TLC.

Oh my gosh. That made my heart stop when I read the first half of your post. I'm so glad that it wasn't worse. He may have checked out okay, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a headache and some stress.

Since there's nothing medically you can do, I would simply forget the housework and errands today and just lay on the couch or floor with him. He wants to be with you and he's probably getting tired of following you around.

So nice of the driver! Not so much with the other dog owner.

that poor baby boy! i am glad it was not any worse!!
Just keep a loving him!
I'd be looking for that dog who bit him owner!!That dog should not be allowed in a public dog park with those issues!! It is unsafe for other dogs to be around him!!!IMO

I'd say just let him hang on you and around you today... he's scared... and rightfully so.

I agree, if this is what he needs at the moment, I would just spend my time cuddling him and carrying him around as much as you are able to do. It must have been so frightening for him and will take him some time to get over, poor little boy. I agree about a possible headache or other aches and pains which, while not being serious, are uncomfortable for him. If it continues for more than a day or two, I would ask the vet to look at him again and see if something has been overlooked. If not, perhaps she would give him some painkillers, just to see if this helps. At least then you will know whether it is just the shock and fear, or if he is actually in some discomfort and pain.

It is SO scary reading these stories. It can happen to any of us! My biggest fear is Tootsy getting away from me and running into the road. You must have been shattered afterwards, as well as Tino. I really feel for you, as well as for Tino.

aaaww! i'm so sorry to read this..hows he doing now? x

[ARCHIE]

I hope Tino is feeling better today. What an awful stressful, scary day
the poor baby had.
I would report the dog bite!
That's my reason for not visiting a dog park. That and knowing some don't
have their shots.
Thank heavens that car did not run over him. Poor baby.

[Priscilla80]

is he doing better now???? HE must be patrified indeed....

I would give him lots of love.. but also i think you need to make sure he doesnt keeps afraid ... so go outisde with carefully and let him use to the car and dogs again..
Otherwise he will scared all the time maybe..

ALso when he act more weird and dont want to eat and still cries please go back to the vet, The dog from my mom was also bitten by another dog, the vet couldnt see anything and he said he was ok,.but you never know how the inside is damage. and then your in time if something is injured that you cant see on the outside. we were to late for our dog. .. i dont want to scare you.. but keep an eye out on him.
and keep us updated.

love priscilla and snickers

[poppyalfie]

hi there tezza, sorry to hear about tino he was so lucky, i think he just want's to b e picked up and be loved, a bit of security hope he's well.

[Yorkiedaze]

I'm so sorry this has happen. Just treat him like you have before, nothing more or less and he will be just fine. I doubt if he would enjoy the park again but maybe in time.

[Pippi Bunty]

Lots of love, cuddles and attention will help him feel better.

Hope he'll be back to his old self soon
